Pathology of Infestation of the Rat With Nippostrongylus Muris (Yokogawa) II. Chemical Constituents of the Jejunum and Dry Weight of the Mucosa

Abstract

There was a 50 per cent. gain in the dry weight of the mucosa relative to the unit length of the jejuna of rats infested by the nematode Nippostrongylus muris. The importance of this to measurements of the rate of intestinal fluxes is discussed.
